mongodb: refresh existing POJO to reflect db changes

[wacker]

The user object is loaded on login time by spring security. Then, during the session:

User self = (User) SecurityContextHolder.getContext().getAuthentication().getPrincipal();

doSomething(self.someProperty); // not up-to-date!

How can db changes be reflected on that object?

Something like JPA's EntityManager.refresh() would be helpful.

Is this really not possible with Spring Data / MongoDB? -- Just to update an outdated object with fresh contents from the database, like in JPA?

Come on, this should be somehow possible. After 2 months, any ideas?
